After a disgraceful wait of 20 years since Edgar Arias Tamayo murdered Houston police officer Guy P. Gaddis in 1994, and despite repeated pleas from U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and demands from the Mexican government, Tamayo was finally executed minutes ago by lethal injection.

If youre one of the more than 100,000 people who have read our reports of the shameful attempts by Kerry, Mexico and the U.N. to browbeat Texas into sparing the life of this snake, then you will know how deserved was Tamayos punishment.

What is truly sad is that Officer Gaddis family had to wait so long when the facts and guilt of Tamayo were never in dispute only ridiculous international politics.

Now lets see if the Mexicans who so angrily demanded his release, will now give Tamayo a heros funeral, as they did with another cop killer, Javier Suarez Medina, who was executed in Texas in 2002. Medinas funeral was attended by 6,000 people and his casket was respectfully covered with the Mexican flag. The service lasted over four and a half hours.

At last, he got his justicia tonight in Texas. Adios!

UPDATE:The execution of Tamayo is dominating Twitter at this hour, with truly idiotic tweets like this one:

A very good person? Remember Tamayo executed a Houston cop with three bullets to the back of the head and never denied it.
